+Subject: ptrace: slightly saner 'get_dumpable()' logic
+
+From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
+
+commit 31e62c2ebbfdc3fe3dbdf5e02c92a9dc67087a3a upstream.
+
+The 'dumpability' of a task is fundamentally about the memory image of
+the task - the concept comes from whether it can core dump or not - and
+makes no sense when you don't have an associated mm.
+
+And almost all users do in fact use it only for the case where the task
+has a mm pointer.
+
+But we have one odd special case: ptrace_may_access() uses 'dumpable' to
+check various other things entirely independently of the MM (typically
+explicitly using flags like PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS).  Including for
+threads that no longer have a VM (and maybe never did, like most kernel
+threads).
+
+It's not what this flag was designed for, but it is what it is.
+
+The ptrace code does check that the uid/gid matches, so you do have to
+be uid-0 to see kernel thread details, but this means that the
+traditional "drop capabilities" model doesn't make any difference for
+this all.
+
+Make it all make a *bit* more sense by saying that if you don't have a
+MM pointer, we'll use a cached "last dumpability" flag if the thread
+ever had a MM (it will be zero for kernel threads since it is never
+set), and require a proper CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability to override.
